A mugshot of a Minnesota woman arrested for battery theft has exploded online because netizens swear she looks just like Jennifer Lopez. The image quickly spread across social platforms, sparking a wave of comparisons.
Viral Comparison Fuels Social Media Buzz
Cyrena Anne Quast, 35, was taken into custody on Aug. 30 after police alleged she stole two double packs of power‑tool batteries worth about $580 from a Monticello retailer, according to a criminal complaint obtained by TMZ.
The booking photo, released by the Wright County Sheriff’s Office, quickly went viral as users pointed out a striking resemblance to pop icon Jennifer Lopez.
“It really does look like her!” one comment read, while others claimed the two could be twins.
Another user referenced Lopez’s 2002 hit “Jenny from the Block,” dubbing Quast “the real Jenny from the block.”
Some joked that Quast resembled Lopez “if the global superstar had a really rough week,” while a few suggested she could serve as the singer’s stunt double.
Backlash Challenges the Resemblance Claim
Local authorities confirmed Quast’s arrest was triggered when a store employee recognized her from a prior theft incident and alerted police, according to the complaint.
Not everyone agreed with the comparison; several social media posts dismissed the notion outright.
“She looks absolutely nothing like her,” a user quipped, highlighting the divided reaction.
Background on the Suspect and the Celebrity
Quast was booked into the Wright County Jail on a gross misdemeanor theft charge, officials said.
Jennifer Lopez, a Hollywood mainstay for more than three decades, has repeatedly drawn media attention for her fashion and fitness statements.
